FULL DISCLOSURE: I am Arkady Arkhangorodsky, this is the second hack I am submitting this in addition to the main project I worked on this weekend. It was 4:30am and I heard about the 4 kilobyte prize from Datto and was intrigued, and had this on my mind for a quick hack anyway. If this disqualifies me from winning anything with this, so be it.
What it does
It's pretty straight-forward. You click, the internet turns off, then it turns back on. No more reaching into the menu, saving 3 (3!!!) clicks for this pretty common annoying thing.
For those unfamiliar and wondering why this would be useful, often when in an area with poor connection the quickest and surprisingly effective way to get connected again is to turn the WiFi off and on.
Challenges I ran into
Staying awake
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Making something that (as far as I can see) nobody has made before.
What I learned
A little bit of Objective C, and how to make a menubar button.
What's next for The Button You've All Been Waiting For
An easy way for others to install it.
